in hope to have time pass quicker, leonard is thinking of getting a pet to keep him company in the office. he is considering a few options that include hamsters, fish, baby lobsters, meal worms... and sea monkeys. he has already spent half the day surfing the net, learning how to care for each little creature who may soon become his friend, and is confident that whichever little friends he chooses, they will be assured of their happiness with him.

however, leonard has a problem. he doesn't know what will happen to his friends when the weekend comes and no one is avail to feed or play with them. the fury ones should have no problem with this, but the noise from their wheel will probably prove to be extremely irritating and eventually cause the colleagues to throw them out of the window in no time. the meal worms would require the least maintenance. but if they were to reach adulthood and begin laying eggs that end up hatching all over the office... then leonard can be prepared to throw himself out of the window instead.

after much thought, leonard is still undecided. perhaps, he hopes that readers might be able to offer him some suggestions.
